Since substantial coal use (equivalent to 50% of global coal consumption) is the primary reason for the poor air quality, China is considering setting a cap on its use. The preferred fuel path(s) will depend to a great extent on their climate and environmental performance, which is of national concern.

Utilizing biofuels as a substitute for heavy fuel oil in the current (2006) global shipping fleet would result in strong reductions in sulfate aerosol of up to about 40-60%, according to a new study by a team from Germany and Hawaii. This clearly has positive consequences for pollution reduction in the vicinity of major harbors.
